## About the role

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Security Engineering team, you will be a founding member of the team and define and drive the technical strategy for identity and access at Harvey — both how customers authenticate to Harvey, as well as how internal employees, contractors, and non-human identities access company systems, what they are authorized to do, and how seamlessly access adapts as needs change.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years experience building and operating production software, with demonstrated impact across multiple teams or technical domains
- Deep expertise in several identity and access engineering domains — authentication, federation, authorization, entitlement modeling, or privileged access
- Fluency with AI: you use AI-assisted development tools effectively while applying strong engineering judgment, and you design agentic workflows that automate repetitive toil and improve how teams operate
- Experience designing identity or authorization platforms, libraries, or abstractions used by other engineering teams
- Experience delivering foundational systems that achieve meaningful adoption and improve organizational or customer outcomes
- Experience with cloud infrastructure, such as Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or Amazon Web Services, and modern distributed-system patterns
